Volatiles from oral anaerobes confounding breath biomarker discovery (2013)
Journal Article
De Lacy Costello, B., Khalid, T. Y., Ratcliffe, N. M., Khalid, T., Saad, S., Greenman, J., …Ratcliffe, N. M. (2013). Volatiles from oral anaerobes confounding breath biomarker discovery. Journal of Breath Research, 7(1), https://doi.org/10.1088/1752-7155/7/1/017114

The levels of compounds in exhaled mouth air do not necessarily reflect levels in the systemic circulation as bacteria can bio-transform substrates to produce compounds within the mouth. This should be of concern to researchers measuring breath volat... Read More about Volatiles from oral anaerobes confounding breath biomarker discovery.

The first self-sustainable microbial fuel cell stack (2013)
Journal Article
Ledezma, P., Stinchcombe, A., Greenman, J., & Ieropoulos, I. (2013). The first self-sustainable microbial fuel cell stack. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 15(7), 2278-2281. https://doi.org/10.1039/c2cp44548d

This study reports for the first time on the development of a self-sustainable microbial fuel cell stack capable of self-maintenance (feeding, hydration, sensing & reporting). Furthermore, the stack system is producing excess energy, which can be use... Read More about The first self-sustainable microbial fuel cell stack.

Bi-directional electrical characterisation of microbial fuel cell (2013)
Journal Article
Ieropoulos, I. A., Greenman, J., Ledezma, P., Degrenne, N., Ledezma, P., Bevilacqua, P., …Ieropoulos, I. (2013). Bi-directional electrical characterisation of microbial fuel cell. Bioresource Technology, 128, 769-773. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2012.10.110

The electrical performance of microbial fuel cells in steady-state is usually investigated by standard characterisation methods that reveal many important parameters e.g. maximum power. This paper introduces a novel " bi-directional" method to study... Read More about Bi-directional electrical characterisation of microbial fuel cell.

MFC-cascade stacks maximise COD reduction and avoid voltage reversal under adverse conditions (2013)
Journal Article
Ledezma, P., Greenman, J., & Ieropoulos, I. (2013). MFC-cascade stacks maximise COD reduction and avoid voltage reversal under adverse conditions. Bioresource Technology, 134, 158-165. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2013.01.119

Six continuous-flow Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) configured as a vertical cascade and tested under different electrical connections are presented. When in parallel, stable operation and higher power and current densities than individual MFCs were obse...
